We have made every effort to bring the charts from the ESV Study Bible print edition to the ePub edition. However, the screen size and resolution limitations of any portable device make some of these charts illegible. Due to these limitations, we provide a link to an online version of each chart that you can visit with your computer’s web browser.
The Paleo-Hebrew characters in the chart, Hebrew Alphabet, have been inserted as images. This means that the size of the Paleo-Hebrew characters will not be affected by any font size preferences that may be set on your reading device and they may not be the same size as Roman and Greek characters.
